What’s sad is that that might be its most remarkable achievement, because past the technical issues, what’s left is a well-intentioned but unfulfilling adventure. Think Edith Finch with scarcely any mechanical or narrative flourishes, and you’re quite close to Blue Backpack’s effort; or, better yet, imagine a small, bland flat with a landlord who’s eager to rob you blind.”
